Stand-off along Lebanon-Israel border prompts state of alert Daily Star staff Saturday, February 24, 2007 SOUTH LEBANON: The Lebanese and Israeli armies were in a state of alert Friday from both sides of the barbed-wire fence separating the Lebanese-Israeli border, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. Lebanese infantry soldiers were patrolling the road near the Fatima Gate in the border region of Kfar Kila, as part of their routine mission, when they were surprised by an Israeli patrol on the other side of the barbed-wire fence. Some of the Israeli troops were pointing their weapons at the Lebanese, the NNA said. In response, the Lebanese Army mobilized its troops, ready for any military action. After 25 minutes of alertness, the Israelis withdrew to the Israeli settlement of Metulla and Spanish troops of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) patrolled the Fatima Gate, with three bulldozers being stationed at the location to prevent any clashes from breaking out. This is the third incident this month between the two armies. Last week, the Lebanese and Israeli armies exchanged fire near Maroun al-Ras at the border after Israeli sappers reportedly searching for explosive devices crossed into Lebanese territory, according to a Lebanese Army spokesman. Israel has insisted that it remained on the Israeli side of the border. On Thursday, Israeli overflights drew anti-aircraft fire from the Lebanese Army after flying at a low-altitude over the South. - The Daily Star +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
